Tracey said… - I love trees too & was only sitting up in one the other week, though not very far as I didn't want to fall off. I tried to climb up it a bit & my body twisted into a bizarre position, of which I am sure no one without dystonia could do! Maybe we should all be acrobats? : )
Positivity is hard with this condition, but does help, as does anything you try that works for you. All the best to you.

I hope you are well and keeping your "roots grounded" !
Trying to keep mine grounded as well ...
although I must admit at this time it's getting harder by the day since I was told I have to wait until January 16TH for my next series of injections ! Shouldn't complain though there are so many people out there in much worse circumstances.
I would like to wish you a "Very Jolly Christmas" !
And may you have the happiest of new years !
Take good care !
Peace
Grace

- Hi Felicity!
Thanks for visiting my page!
I love nature!
I guess you can tell!
I believe there's so much one can learn from it!
Funny...but true...I remember after being diagnosed, I was sitting on a park bench in the summer just staring at all the trees, and thinking how majestic and huge they are in comparison to our bodies...and yet
they too can come down and become small once again!
I started comparing their branches to our bodies many connections...nerves...veins...transmittors etc...
There is something to be said about nature...
it...like many of us can become ill as well!
So I started posting tree pics on my page etc. etc.
And I do believe just like us...nature too can have Dystonic reactions!
I find a solace (peace & comfort) in trees...just goes to show...it doesn't matter how big and strong one is (like a tree) a big storm can come and take you down! Just like a huge tree!
Hope you're doing well!
Take care...Grace
